patch for adding missing dependencies

I am a researcher from the Software Analysis and Intelligence Lab (SAIL) from Queen's University in Kingston, Canada.
Currently, we are working on an approach for finding missing dependencies in build files and we are using glib as a case study.
We have found several bugs which I will submit in the following days, together with a patch for fixing them.

The targets:
glib_compile_resources, gsettings, gdbus, gapplication, gresource
are linking libgmodule-2.0.la but do not compile it. Hence they may be using old versions of libgmodule-2.0.la.


As can be found in the make output for gresource:
/bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Werror=declaration-after-statement -Werror=missing-prototypes -Werror=implicit-function-declaration -Werror=pointer-arith -Werror=init-self -Werror=format-security -Werror=format=2 -Werror=missing-include-dirs -g -O2 -o gresource gresource-gresource-tool.o libgio-2.0.la ../gobject/libgobject-2.0.la ../glib/libglib-2.0.la
libtool: link: gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Werror=declaration-after-statement -Werror=missing-prototypes -Werror=implicit-function-declaration -Werror=pointer-arith -Werror=init-self -Werror=format-security -Werror=format=2 -Werror=missing-include-dirs -g -O2 -o .libs/gresource gresource-gresource-tool.o ./.libs/libgio-2.0.so /home/shane/src/glib/repo/gobject/.libs/libgobject-2.0.so /home/shane/src/glib/repo/gmodule/.libs/libgmodule-2.0.so -ldl -lz -lresolv ../gobject/.libs/libgobject-2.0.so /home/shane/src/glib/repo/glib/.libs/libglib-2.0.so -lffi ../glib/.libs/libglib-2.0.so -lpthread -lrt

Similar for the other mentioned targets.

The included patch adds these dependencies for the latest HEAD.
We observed that these dependencies are missing since at least version 2.36.0.
